Folks were none too happy when 343 Studios revealed Halo 5: Guardians would be the first game since the series' debut in 2001 to not support couch co-op. And, yeah. That's a huge bummer. Not to crush the dreams of all couch co-op aficionados without a good reason, 343 Studios recently published a pretty sizable piece that's all about the co-op.

When we last left our heroes, Bill Paxton and his ragtag crew of hardasses (and Bruce Campbell) were as close as ever to escaping their aircraft carrier-shaped prison. "Reckoning", the fourth and final DLC pack for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, aims to finally bring the Exo Zombies cast to something that isn't effectively undead flotsam. But wait, like the plethora of zombie fiction both pre-and-proceeding Exo Zombies, there's a twist!

Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 launched with just 500GB of disk storage. And while this might have sounded like an enormous amount to owners of the previous generation of consoles, the jump from these older boxes in terms of graphical fidelity meant this space would only be enough for a dozen or less games. We’re now just starting to see systems ship with 1TB internally. If your’re an early adopter you can add storage yourself to you Xbox One simply by plugging in a USB 3.0 drive. But which one do you choose?

3D world, 2D exploration, mechanical animals as protagonists, and co-op. There's the elevator pitch for Mekazoo, and we're already interested. The upcoming platform game from Good Mood Creators features five different mekanimals running, swinging, climbing and jumping through a colorful world on their way to take out an insectoid army. I mean, insektoid?

Geometry Wars has come a long way since its initial release in 2003. The arcade shooter has grown a lot in the last decade, adding things like-- you know what? It added co-op. That's what matters. Even the brand new PlayStation Vita version has co-op, and you only need one system to give it a try!

Are you survivors still parkouring among the tropical ruins surrounded by the rotting, heinous undead? Dying Light released exactly half a year ago back in January, and Techland is breaking out the "Half a Year Anniversary" party hats! I'm not really one to celebrate half-aversaries or anything, but we liked Dying Light quite a bit, so let's all slap on a goofy hat and enjoy a montage of zombies getting bludgeoned.

Last year we heard about a game with an interesting take on the whole FPS genre. Gunscape combines world-building and FPS elements to create a game that allows players to build their own levels, and then play them with (or against) friends. Originally slated for a PC and Xbox One release, the title will be arriving on PlayStation 4 and Wii U early next year.

Welcome, one and all, to a tale as old as a couple months ago. We revisit our heroes only weeks after their promotion from League 2 and the celebrations that ensued. Many of the cast has moved on to greener pastures (the free agency market) to accomplish wondrous things (desperately hope for a contract offer), but the few that remain, those loyal few, they will be the catalysts that spur us on to greater glories.

The one year anniversary of Destiny is fast approaching. Last year, we were pretty excited to see what all the game had in store for us. This year... well, we're a bit more tempered. There have been some highlights over the past year, but also a lot of missteps. Developer Bungie assures its community that it is listening and has some big changes around the bend.

The first developer diary is out for Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, the FPS/RPG from Fatshark. The game is shaping up to be a sleeper hit and something to fill the void left by the absence of Hellraid this year.

While the video games presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con was a bit more subdued, there were a few publishers/developers present including Activision who were showing off the recently announced "Dark Edition" of the upcoming Skylanders SuperChargers. This version will cost you an additional $25 over the standard kit and i...

During the Microsoft E3 press conference this year, they announced that the Xbox One would be getting an update in the near-future to allow for backwards compatibility so you can play your favorite Xbox 360 games on the newest gen. If all goes well, Burnout Paradise may be one of those games.
